HOUSE A investigates the tones and textures of immigrant home-building by asking: How is the body inscribed with a cosmology of home, and vice versa? An assemblage of oblique letters to Mao, “dream-geometry” poems, and image-text experiments, this debut book of poetry seeks to render not facts but the feeling of a childhood household whose structures are simultaneously haunted and buoyed by ghosts of history that blur with a constellation of sheltering figures, patterns, and shadows. With evocative and intellectual precision, HOUSE A weaves personal, discursive, and lyrical textures to invoke the immersive-obscured experience of an immigrant home’s entanglement while mapping a new poetics of American Home, steeped in longing and rooted by displacement.
